I have my doubts the Dr. Moyle will be that fair, although there is no doubt that he will be better than his FWS predecessor (who is off in Utah screwing the owners of rangeland grazing rights on BLM land). Unfortunately, Dr. Moyle or one of his fans has scrubbed many of his writings off the web, so I can't cite them to you now, and I didn't copy them when I had the chance. I sure wish the FR archives were searchable because I posted them there during the original word that Moyle would head the panel.
The man can be more than a bit shrill and unlikely to be purely objective. You over-estimate the NAS.
